"The bottom line: Polling suggests Americans remain skeptical of Big Tech even as companies push aggressively into AI products."
These companies did not "build" the internet, they occupied it as middlemen
"The companies that built the early internet are the ones speeding to disrupt it in order to avoid being the disruptees of the AI age."
The "internet" is a network of networks, hence the prefix "inter", and, by and large, telephone companies own the network infrastructure not "Big Tech"
With respect to internet protocols and software, with few exceptions, companies didn't "build the early internet." Universities did. These so-called "tech" companies did not even exist. There were no intermediaries (middlemen) occupying the web and performing mass data collection, surveillance and "ad services" as a "business model"
Not only that, the web is just one protocol. One that has become infested with surveillance and ads. The internet allows for a multitude of protocols
It's insane how people refer to a few websites as "the internet"
In the usual use of the term "disrupt", before it was co-opted by Silicon Valley, "disruption" is only temporary not permanent

Disruptions are minimised or eliminated
